Hamilton Beach 46894A 10-Cup Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker

Cheap Hamilton Beach 46894A 10-Cup Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker
==================================================================

Next time you say, "Let's go get coffee," think twice about rushing out to the coffeehouse, local shop or drive-thru to purchase some coffee and guzzling it down. Creating the perfect cup is something special to be savored. Something delightfully indulgent and memorable, something that evokes every sentiment of an authentic European cafe. That's the promise of Melitta. Intelligent design, detailed craftsmanship, full-bodied flavor and a sensuous experience in every sip.
  • Regular, bold and robust settings for rich-tasting coffee
  • Programmable with 2-hour auto shutoff
  • Automatic pause and serve
  • Durable stainless steel
  • Cone filter design for better coffee extraction

This give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Excellent product if you know what you're getting into!
As a person who considers himself a bit of a coffee connoisseur, I would like to shed some light on criticisms I found to be consistent amongst the less glowing reviews. I think some people who purchased this machine are a bit unfamiliar with the advantages versus traditional (glass carafe) brewers. They are mistaking some of the positives for negatives. I hope this helps current and potential buyers, as for the price (or even for more money) you'd be hard-pressed to find anything better. Allow me to explain...

STAINLESS STEEL CARAFE: A double insulated carafe (as found on the Melitta) serves to keep the coffee warm without a warming plate following the brewing cycle. Though the coffee does lose heat over time, you will not lose any taste. Glass carafes require a warming plate that keeps coffee at a consistent temperature by essentially cooking it. In other words, your coffee will taste horrible not long after the brewing cycle has finished. Imagine keeping your...

2. Best ever! Finally!!!! A working coffee pot!!!! Whoohooooo!
YES YES YES! Finally a working coffee pot that wasn't designed/built by total morons!

A coffee maker should do the following:
1. Make coffee into a pot (not on the counter)
2. Make hot coffee (listen up mr coffee!)
3. Actually pour coffee out of the carafe! (again something mt coffee hasn't figured out)
4. Actually brew the entire filters worth of grinds and not just part of the grinds
5. Not cost an Arm and a leg.... It's a simple appliance

After going through 6 different coffee makers from 4 different mfg's I finally found one that meets my extremely picky 5 requirements (sarcasm) this maker is the ONLY one that does!

Very good coffee maker with a thermal carafe
I bought this from Abe"s of maine. I usually don't write reviews but I did a lot of research and have waited a long time to buy another coffee maker since my Philips Thermal was getting a bit old.
I have tried a number of thermal units in the past and could not find one that produced hot coffee from the start, never mind after awhile from the carafe. The Philips was good, not perfect, where after my second cup I had to hit the microwave. So I came across the Melitta older version and wanted to buy it but could not find one at an reasonable price so I called Melitta. They said it was discontinued but they have a new model 46894. Now the picture is wrong here, it shows a glass carafe, the same on Abe's website but the model number was correct so I ordered it and got the thermal carafe.

So far I really like it. I ran water thru it and it is 5 degrees hotter than my Philips and it has a hot plate which gets good and hot during the brew time and then goes off when it stops...

Waring PJE101 Quite White Juice Extractor

Bargain Waring PJE101 Quite White Juice Extractor
==================================================================

Carrots, celery, beets, cucumbers, apples--all vegetables and fruits, with the exception of citrus, go into this powerful 550-watt compact juicer's feed chute and come out the spout as pure, fresh juice. (For citrus fruits, you must purchase a separate attachment.) A stainless-steel blade chops the vegetables and fruits, and centrifugal force, just as high-school physics teachers promise, spins the juice from the pulp and through a strainer before it pours from the spout. Disposable paper filter...
  • Commercial-quality fruit-and-vegetable juicer for home use
  • Powerful 550 watt motor - vibration free for quiet operation
  • Powerful 550-watt motor vibration free for quiet operation
  • Citrus attachment sold separately
  • Disassembles easily for cleaning

This Centrifugal Juicers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Juice Forever!
I bought one of these in 1977. And it's still in excellent condition after about a million (more or less) glasses of juice. What more can you ask?

Well, perhaps easier cleaning. Pulp gets wedged in the basket and you need a stiff brush to get it loose. Some dishwashers will do the trick, but you may end up scrubbing. Thus four instead of five stars.

If you need to make more than two glasses of juice, you'll probably have to stop and empty the basket of pulp before continuing. The Champion juicer spits out the pulp while juicing and might be a better choice for those who have large families.

Nevertheless, this Waring juicer (they bought out the old Acme brand) gets every drop of juice from your veggies and fruit. Don't even consider a cheaper juicer, as you'll pay the price in needing more produce to come up with a good glass of juice. Bon Apetit!

2. heavy-duty juicer !
This is much better than those little wimpy juicers that are basically disposable.This one is made for Waring by the Acme company who has been building quality commercial juice extractors for years!This unit doesnt have automatic pulp ejection but it has a powerful motor thats not likely to burn out.The pulp can also usually be easily peeled away from the screen so you may begin another round of juicing.Just make sure you clean the unit immediately after use,otherwise the pulp gets hard and sticks to the surfaces and is difficult to remove.I have an Acme unit thats similar to this one and I use it all the time!As a result I`m healthier,more energetic,more regular and even have better skin! And remember,store bought juice is pasteurized as required by law and has no food value or enzymes.So make your own juice and get all the benefits that nature can provide! Enjoy and good health to you!

Happy Juicing
This juicer is everything I had hoped it would be. It extracts every last drop of juice from your produce - if you use it correctly. The trick is to let the machine run for AT LEAST 5 minutes after you no longer see any produce in the chute. I tried to use the included filters, the result was less than desirable. Yes, cleanup was just a hair easier, but I did not get anywhere near the amount of juice that I got without the filter. The juicer disassembles easily for cleanup, the strainer basket takes a little care to clean. Due to its design, it is not possible to just scrub and rinse. You will have to use a papertowel or sponge to get the last pulp out. I would strongly recommend to wash the parts immediately after juicing, letting the pulp dry is not the best idea. The chute is a little small, my only complaint with this unit, otherwise I would have rated it five stars.

Waring HPB270N BlendFast Mega Pro Blender

Buy Waring HPB270N BlendFast Mega Pro Blender
==================================================================

This sturdy blender is useful for those who do not require the multiple settings found in most home kitchen blenders. With two speeds, low and high, the Mega-Pro blender uses 1 horsepower to crush ice or purée fruit for morning shakes and smoothies. Its 48-ounce polycarbonate jar is shatter-resistant and scalloped for easy gripping, while the all-metal base of the blender is well built and secure, attaching to the jar with a puzzle-type mount that ensures a proper fit.

  • 900 watt, 2-speed, commercial blender; runs at 27,000 RPM
  • 48-ounce, shatter-resistant, polycarbonate jar scalloped for easy gripping
  • Crushes ice or purees fruit for morning shakes and smoothies
  • All-metal base attaches to jar with puzzle-type mount to ensure a proper fit
  • Measures 16 by 6-1/4 by 6-1/4 inches; 1-year warranty, 5-year motor warranty

This Countertop Blenders give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Really Works
After years of frustration trying to make a frozen drink with household blenders, I finally realized that I need a more powerful machine to do the job right. I bit the bullet and put up the big bucks for a 1HP machine and we love it. IT REALLY WORKS.

2. Now THIS is a blender!
After finally killing my last blender with my regular smoothie habit, we decided it was time to play with the big boys. Yes, it's twice as expensive as other "premium quality" blenders, but it's more than twice as powerful, and if you need that kind of power this blender won't disappoint. It went through my frozen banana smoothies without a hitch (no more rrrrrr-rrrrr-rrrnnn of a motor not up to the task). And the top is well designed - no drips down the sides after pouring.

One caveat: this is a commercial blender and it looks it. The base is a greenish-grey and the label on the front won't win any asthetic kitchen appliance awards. On the other hand, this is a commercial blender and it works like one. It even comes with an extra drive coupling. This quite possibly will be the last blender I ever own!

My Favorite Smoothie Recipe: 1 c. plain non-fat yogurt, 1/2 c. OJ, 1/2 c. pineapple juice (or use all OJ), 1 scoop soy protein powder (optional), 1 or 2 T flax oil...

Buy this blender if you live alone and don't entertain
One reviewer suggested this blender would be quieter if the jar was glass rather than polycarbonate. This might help, but I think a more effective solution would be to add a muffler. The motor in this machine is one horsepower and it sounds it, which can be an issue if you're the first one up in the morning making smoothies. Unless your willing to drop $300 on a soundproof acrylic case, be prepared to make a lot of noise (like a lawnmower's worth) every time you turn it on.

Unfortunately, the noise isn't my only criticism of the Mega Pro. I don't believe the rest of the blender was adequately designed to match the motor. Large ice cubes and frozen fruit had a tendency to grind down to perfect spheres and pinball around until I intervened. Also, I often found ingredients had to be strategically added to avoid ice cave or superfroth. The blender's ultimate demise, however, was a frozen strawberry, which managed to wedge itself beneath the blade (according to events recreated)...

1. I cannot express my utter disappointment
First, let me express that the below is my opinion based upon my experience with this purchased item. As both an architect and engineer by trade I think I am qualified to pass judgment on a product and determine if it represents a stunning or quality product. Having stated the aforementioned...

I was really excited about getting this wine cooler and dispenser when I first came across it. Given the price I anticipated that it would exude quality. Additionally I expected that somehow that quality would help to justify the price.

Boy was I wrong.

The item is cheaply built and believe it or not... made in China. When I say cheaply built, let me explain... the top of the cooler where the digital readout is located is a flimsy piece of plastic and it doesn't sit horizontally parallel to the door. Rather it is skewed at an angle due to the hinge pin of the door which forces the plastic piece of the faceplate upwards on the right hand size as you face the...

2. Great conversation piece.....
Way cool unit. All my friends love it too. Great conversation piece. I honestly have found that I am drinking less than I have in the past because the Argon preserves the wine so well I don't feel like I am going to waste wine. Great purchase. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.....

  • Hand made wine cellar.
  • Luan Mahogany exterior.
  • Lock and keys in brass finish.
  • Brass finish piano hinges.
  • Wood/aluminum individual racking.

This Freestanding Wine Cellars give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Vinotemp 300 WC - buyer beware no humidity controls
I decided to go with the Vinotemp 300 wc after lots of research. In order to make the right choice, you should be able to determine the following:

1. How many bottles are you planning to store (usually multiply what you currently have X 2 since having a wine cabinet will surely increase your wine buying habits)
2. Where will you put the cabinet? If you have a basement, that will be the ideal place, hence the unit does not need to be too flashy. You could also put it in your garage, if you have the room. Regardless, and unless you store it inside the house you must choose at least a 2,500 BTU unit... If you're thinking about having it inside the house, a 1,500 BTU should be enough (that's the standard)
3. Noise - you should consider how noise is the unit, especially if you want to have it inside the house.
4. Shipping - it is always really expensive. However, there are tons of promotions for free shipping
5. Door - if you want it inside the house you can...

  • Easily juices most fruits, herbs and vegetables and grinds nuts and grains
  • Quiet operation
  • Low 110 RPM
  • Powerful motor
  • Convenient On-Off, Reverse three-way switch

This Masticating Juicers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. GS-2000 juicer
As advertised, this item requires disassembly and immediate cleaning. It also works slowly, as advertised. All tools necessary for cleaning are included. The chopping and squeezing of the food between two spiral gears is a much different method than the shred and spin type which is common for most counter top juicers, so I was surprised at how much I needed to adjust my expectations. But the advantage that this GS-2000 has over the other type is that it can handle grasses and leafy greens, so I am comfortable with the slower process.
I bought the item used, and after several uses I began to imagine why the original owner wanted to sell it. It requires time to use and much more time to clean, something that cannot be put off until later. Still, as it is not an inexpensive item, I feel I made a good choice, particularly as I was able to save money while getting the equipment I wanted.

2. Highest Quality Juice - BAR NONE!
I bought my juicer over 9 years ago. I finally had a minor part break on it, which isn't slowing me down at all. Because of the higher quality of juice, I don't have to juice every day in order to get the nutrition I seek during a juice fast. So even though the juicer takes a while to clean, I only need to do that every other day or so when I make my batches of juice. The pulp comes out bone dry. I get more juice from it with the same amount of produce compared to any centrifugal machine AND the juice is higher quality because it hasn't been heated and oxidized. I do wish I didn't have to chop the produce down to size as much, but such a minor price to pay for excellent end product. And I also wish it was a bit easier to clean. It seems there are needless nooks and crannies in the design. I hear the latest model is better in that area. Happy juicing.

HORRIBLE- DON'T BUY GREENSTAR-Foamer-Not a Good Juicer
The GreenStar is the worst juicer I have ever used-(Even when brand new). It creates a lot of foam (more Foam than Wheat Grass Juice) and it also puts out juicy pulp. To me, that's a waste! I bought the Omega 8000 and LOVE it! It does wheatgrass juice perfectly (will do any other fruit and veggie juice too-pulp = always dry) Also, it's a great food processor for Raw food living -great to process my crackers and breads for the dehydrator!! :D

Thermador Masterpiece Series MES301HS 24 Single Combination Steam/Convection Wall Oven

Cheapest Thermador Masterpiece Series MES301HS 24 Single Combination Steam/Convection Wall Oven
==================================================================

Thermador MES301HS 24" Single Combination Steam/Convection Wall Oven with 1.4 cu. ft. Capacity, 40 EasyCook Programs, Steam Clean and Masterpiece or Professional Handle Options: With Masterpiece Handle

This Convection Ovens give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great oven - when it works
The feature set on this oven is fantastic. Can bake, steam, reheat, keeps things moist. It takes a little bit of reading the manual to learn how to program since it's different from a regular oven, but once you get the hang of it, it's wonderful the results are tasty!

It's a bit smaller size on the inside than normal ovens, given the water container and convection mechanism both have to fit. We found we had to buy new smaller cookie sheets. Not a problem since you can stack vertically, though, and we have not had trouble fitting cake forms or even ducks and turkeys into it. It may be a problem if you try to do huge turkeys (we've entertained for 10 people just fine).

My big problem is with Thermador service and quality. Our oven clock/timer stopped working accurately after 7 months. The clock just can't keep time (it still displays time and you can set it but it's just not accurate). This of course affects any timed cooking/baking function. Thermador has very...

2. I love my steam oven
First - i went into the appliance store, not knowing that i needed this oven. I was going to buy a double oven, like everyone else. I found that this steam convection oven can function like a regular oven, but can also do so much more. I love baking with it - gives bread that hard crunchy shell, unlike baking in a regular oven. I also made our Thanksgiving turkey in it this year - it was awesome!

The only caveat, is that i don't have many recipes for it - i really wish they had a cook book that came with it. I have to improvise, I am no pro so. . . I have never made anything that i hated - but, it probably could have been better. I will also say that i use this appliance 80% more than i do the regular convection oven.

I would buy it again, but really wish i could get some recipes! :)
